They proved they were not ready for prime time. Only one starting pitcher made it into the 5th inning...sort of the anti-2005 rotation.
I'm sorry but Grandal needs to go. He is horrible behind the plate. He can't catch nor throw anyone out. Hell, I bet I could steal off of him. Hernandez was less than stellar. I wasn't impressed. If there is another second baseman available as a free agent, the Sox should go after him. Let Rodon walk. He's pretty good, but undependable. The Sox need to make up their minds on Sheets and Vaughn. They are the same player hitting on opposite sides of the plate. Maybe package one for a catcher. It's time for management to realize that Leury Garcia is a nice player to have, but he's not a starter. Never was, never will be. He needs to be an infield sub and have his outfield glove taken away from him. Kimbrel needs to go. Keuchel needs to go. Apparently Engel is an injury waiting to happen. He can't be counted on. Maybe it's just me, but Moncada looks disinterested in playing baseball. Maybe he needs a new place to play. Eloy has improved in the field, but dammit, hit the cutoff man!
This team has more holes than fanboys are willing to admit. If they didn't have such a great first half, the division would have been up for grabs as the record against the Central wasn't that stellar. Watch out for Kansas City next year.
